ORIGINAL: Trekgeekscott OK. So I don't pay much attention to college football but I didn't realize that Oregon Ducks beat Ohio State and a controversial play was involved. https://www.yahoo.com/sports/ncaa-mulling-in-season-action-after-oregons-controversial-late-game-situational-move-helped-ducks-beat-ohio-state-154542363.html So after a timeout the defense put 12 men on the field intentionally...and in college football they don't put the time back on the clock...so the Ducks intentionally got a penalty that ate time off the clock and kept THE Ohio state from getting into FG range for the game winning kick... Two things here. In the NFL they put the time back on the clock so this wouldn't work in the NFL. 2. If this had happened to say Kansas State, Nebraska, Illinois, Minnesota, or NDSU or any number of NOT OHIO STATE Schools...the NCAA would've have just chalked it up as a quirk in the rules and maybe looked at it in the offseason to correct it. But since THE Ohio State was negatively impacted here....We need to look into it NOW. And replay the last part of the game? If they do that, the NCAA should just stop playing actual Football games and just have Ohio State and Alabama play for the national title every stinking January. They should fix the rule, but they should table any discussion about it until after the season. They Ducks used the rule to their advantage. The Rule is the rule at this time. They shouldn't change it until after the season, they shouldn't replay anything as no rule was actually broken. If Ohio State were all that great they wouldn't have needed the 6 seconds they lost for a last minute to win it FG. Ducks beat them. They LOST. No rule was broken. They can wallow in misery for all time. Your post reads more about some itch you have with perennial top teams. Wallow in misery for all time? LMAO. Good thing you don't pay much attention to CFB. Wow. I don't have a problem with perennial top teams. I have a problem with preferential treatment that those teams get from the organization they are governed by, giving them advantage to remain perennial top teams. NCAA, MLB, NFL, NBA...etc, they all do it. and it infuriating. It's not about even competition....It's about making a buck. If what happened was in a game between NDSU and Miami of Ohio...do you think the NCAA would have even noticed much less acted on it? I seriously don't. But it was OHIO STATE, one of their chosen few....So they must ACT NOW. In this case, it's GOOD that it happened to a top team because it shed light on a gap in the rules.
